CVE-2006-5619: Low severity Linux Linux kernel vulnerability
Published Oct 31, 2006
·Updated
The seqfile handling (ip6flgetn function in ip6flowlabel.c) in Linux kernel 2.6 up to 2.6.18-stable allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang or oops) via unspecified manipulations that trigger an infinite loop while searching for flowlabels.
